The Lord's Prayer is a request to God, who created the world and everything in it, for guidance, provision, forgiveness, and help doing what is right. It asks God to help people care for the planet, respect others, and reach their full potential, while providing for those in need and healing the sick. It also asks God for help in apologizing when others are hurt, not holding grudges, and avoiding things that sadden God or people. With God's help, the prayer expresses, all things are possible now and forever.
